How come this new show is being called "Lightning Rod" just out of curiosity?  Is it a nickname for Mark Elliot on the radio as a meteorologist, or is it just a random title that was assigned to this show?

I don't know, but it sure is a random name for a show I'll tell you that.

Looks like they recycled parts of the old Weekend View studio.

Okay, that was probably a good decision to change the title name, because all I'm thinking about when I see that original name is "X-Files." :P

The debut is set for Monday, July 12th per the Zap2It guide.

(EDIT: I looked a little deeper in the schedule and found out that it will re-air at 1 AM ET. Is the 11 PM show going to be live or recorded earlier in the day?)

I think that the 1 AM re-airing is for the west coasters (like me :P). I doubt it's gonna be live. It's kinda late.

Not to mention it's the same exact camera/teleprompter. The prompter has yellow tape on it and doesn't have an autoscript logo like the other new prompters. Interesting.

Interesting that you pointed that out.  Very good observation!

If it truly is the same set, it's great that they recycle the old set, since it wasn't in use for THAT long.

even though that may be the case, me and Springy are having trouble believing this thing takes place in NY and not the actual former Weekend View room in Atlanta. Why would they ship an entire studio structure to NY? Did they? If they didn't, then why lie to the potential viewers? Why not utilize the walk-in closet, erm, I mean WUWA studio like A&B utilized the Weekend View room in 2006 with movable walls and such? I think that is enough questions for now....
